Noise Generation in Class A-D Amplifiers

Abstract

The low frequency noise produced in generating a class A-D signal is studied. Noise levels are calculated using both computer models and analytic techniques. Although the treatment is not rigorous both methods show excellent agreement. The results indicate that the low frequency noise level is highly sensitive to the phase (time) jitter on the A-D amplifier output signal.
